Meet the Staff

The InternsEvery summer, PSST has the pleasure of welcoming back former students to assist in the office and (locked away upstairs in window-less rooms) in the development of our charter school textbooks. Led by Olivia Glass, Taylor Platt, and Mer-riel Foster, this summer’s team also includes veteran Pedro Cattori and newcomers Charlie Platt and Melissa Shantz. This upstairs brain trust is in a constant battle with us: as we try to steal their entire summer with problem categorization and textbook edits, they do their best to steal all the office glassware. Currently it is a draw, but as August approaches, they are gain-ing momentum.

PresidentPearson Snyder founded PSST in 2008 with the aim to create a company that fostered individuality and personal growth not only in its students, but in its tutors and business culture as well. A strong-willed and enthusiastic leader, Pearson sees each day as a chance for growth, be it for our students, our employees, our company, or himself. With that in mind, Pearson relishes his role, seeing each challenge and opportunity as a chance to learn or teach.

Director of Student Advising, SAT/ACT Tutoring, and College CounselingChristina Ponsaran is the main liaison between clients and tutors and also heads our college guidance service. With a BA from Fordham in American studies, experience as a tutor at Study Point, a teacher’s assistant at Centro Romero for ESL students and an English instructor in Jaraíz de la Vera, Spain, she is our finest classroom instructor and one of our most active SAT tutors.

Director of Offices and PersonnelArmena Ballard grew up in Newtown Square, attended Episcopal Academy, and attained a degree in Hispanic Studies from the University of Pennsylvania. Personable, detail-oriented, organized, efficient, and dedicated, she has grown from Director of Academic Tutoring into Office Manager at the Bryn Mawr location and the Director of Personnel for the company. Armena is soon leaving us for the art world, but has been a wonderful asset, teammate, and has left PSST much stronger then when she found it.

Director of Academic Tutoring and Academic ClassesTed Andrews is a Chestnut Hill native that attended the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude with a degree in Biological Basis of Behavior. At Penn, Ted tutored fellow students in Biology and Chemistry and was recognized for excellence in tutoring. One of his greatest assets is his outgoing personality. When combined with his energy and deep understanding of material, it allows him to connect with not only his students, but everyone he meets.

Director of Data Analysis and Information TechnologyJoe Rosen is a Philadelphia native who attended Lehigh University, where he graduated with a degree in Materials Science and Engineering. Because of this, he is a vital asset as we develop systems to enhance each student’s experience. In the classroom, however, it is his easygoing nature that is the greatest asset. Even though he brings a deep understanding of material to his sessions, it is in fact his patience and relaxed attitude that have made his students enjoy their time with him so much.

Taylor Platt, Merriel Foster, Charlie Platt, Melissa Schantz, and Pedro Cattori

Academic Tuto r ingAcademic tutoring helps students get back on track in their courses by filling in their knowledge gaps and pushing them to a deeper understanding of the base material. While we do aim to prepare students for an upcoming test or a major research paper, ultimately our goal is to fully equip students with the best tools and skills to navigate their classes with confidence, competence, and self-sufficiency. We tailor sessions to students’ unique learning styles to maximize the impact of the lessons and increase their absorption of the material.

Test P r epar at ionGeared towards rising juniors and seniors, SAT & ACT tutoring is the heart of our business. Over the course of eight to twelve sessions—dependent upon the needs of each student—our tutors work to expose the confusing design of either the SAT or ACT, teach all necessary material and strategies, and instill a self-assured, anxiety-free attitude for testing day. Our success comes from always ensuring the student is motivated, learning and enthused. That though we, as tutors, must do our best, and all strategies and material must be mastered, in the end, success depends upon our students being confident and motivated while enjoying their work.

Co l le ge Counse l ingCollege counseling provides extensive support and structured scheduling throughout the entire college application process. Our college guidance service begins, first, with understanding our student, their needs, and determining what school (or schools) will be the best all-around fit, and finishes only after their selection of and acceptance into college. We believe at all times in thoroughness, knowing that, though our students often have an in-school counselor, what they are lacking is both attention to their specific needs as an individual and applicant, along with assistance in the wealth of details that go into every choice, essay and application.

Academic C lassesAcademic classes are designed to revisit key material and concepts where students are typically prone to er-ror, and establish a solid base of knowledge that will prime them for success in our SAT or academic tutoring sessions. These classes offer our students a chance to practice many of the issues they may understand intel-lectually in a tutoring room, but still struggle with on an experiential level.

P earson Snyder Schoolwork and Tutoring was founded on a very simple principle: our success

comes not from teaching the material, but from teaching the student. Whether it be SAT or ACT tutoring, academic assistance or work on a college essay or application, we work hard to ensure our students understand every inch of the material. But just because the material is challenging and success is our aim, we see no reason why this process can’t be an enjoyable one. In fact, we find that all of our students do their best when it is.

Over the past two and a half years, this guiding philosophy has helped us achieve an average real-test-to-real-test SAT score improvement of 267 points and a reputation for tutoring unrivaled in its ease, lack of pretension, and tremendous results. Regardless of what students need help on - be it getting that SAT score or getting that grade on

an English paper - they will get the same experience from every branch of Pearson Snyder Schoolwork and Tutoring: fun, customized learning from bright, affable tutors.
